    Solution

    ATQ, Let the ages of тАШArmaanтАЩ and тАШBittuтАЩ, 6 years hence be 5p years and 4p years respectively Therefore, present age of тАШArmaanтАЩ = (5p тАУ 6) years Present age of тАШBittuтАЩ = (4p тАУ 6) years Present age of тАШChetnaтАЩ = (4p тАУ 6 + 18) = (4p + 12) years According to the question, (5p тАУ 6 тАУ 8)/(4p + 12 тАУ 8) = 4/7 Or, p = 114/19 = 6 years Required sum = (4p тАУ 6 + 4p + 12) = 54 years
